- 1 pound spaghetti
- 1 3/4 pounds sweet or hot Italian sausage links
- Olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
- 1 yellow or orange bell pepper, seeded and sliced

This easy baked spaghetti recipe combines Italian sausage and a trio of colorful bell peppers in a simple marinara sauce enriched with ricotta and mozzarella cheese.
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 375°F. Oil a 3-quart baking dish.
- 2In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta to al dente according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

3In a large, deep frying pan over medium-high heat, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; when cool enough to handle, cut the sausage into slices. Discard all but 1 tablespoon fat from the frying pan. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the peppers and onion to the pan. Sprinkle with salt and cook, stirring, until tender and browned.
